The story seemingly influenced by many other productions including The Incredible Hulk and Torchwood was slightly marred by the fact Jekyll looked exactly the same once he's morphed into Hyde.

As an opener this was okay.
I completely forgot it was on, so will have to find it and catch up somewhere. I'm interested to see if Mr Hyde is shown as a big, brutish, monster (as in pretty much every film and TV adaptation so far) or, as he is in the book, a small, creepy, and perverted individual.
